Urban Renewal
With over 65 years of construction experience, we manage the whole process on your behalf — from the risk assessment of your building to the key handover of your new home — transparently and safely.
Why urban renewal?
- Seismic safety: Live safely in buildings engineered to the current seismic code.
- Modern living: Move into a new, energy-efficient home with modern architecture and social amenities.
- Value growth: A renewed building and surroundings visibly increase the market value of your property.
- Legal assurance: The process under Law No. 6306 gives owners legal protection and transparency.
The urban renewal process
From application to key handover, the whole process is managed in seven clear stages:
- Application — First meeting and preliminary assessment
- Site survey — Technical and architectural analysis
- Offer — Clarifying the terms
- Contract — Mutual rights and obligations
- Demolition — Site handover after permits
- Construction — Inspected, reported production
- Handover — Key delivery and warranty
What you need to know
What is urban renewal?
Urban renewal is the process of replacing buildings that carry earthquake risk or have reached the end of their structural life with safe, modern buildings that comply with the current seismic code. In Türkiye the process is governed by Law No. 6306 on the Transformation of Areas under Disaster Risk.
How does the process work under Law No. 6306?
The law divides the process into stages, from the risk assessment to demolition, construction and handover: risk assessment and official application; informing the owners and reaching agreement; signing the contract and obtaining permits; demolition, construction and inspected handover.
How is a building assessed as risky?
Licensed institutions carry out a technical examination of the building's load-bearing system. If the building is found to be risky, the result is reported to the relevant authority. This assessment is the first and most important step in starting the process legally.
Owners' rights
Owners of independent units in a risky building are considered rights holders. They are entitled to a unit in the new building in proportion to their share, to be informed throughout the process, and to transparent contract terms. The law considers agreement of a qualified majority of owners sufficient.
Rent support
Rights holders who have to vacate the building during demolition can receive rent support for a defined period during construction. Contact our team for the current amounts and conditions.
Tax and fee exemptions
Certain tax and fee exemptions apply in favour of rights holders for transactions carried out under the law. As the scope changes with legislation, please ask our team for current details for your project.
How long does it take?
The total duration depends on the building size, number of owners, speed of agreement and the permit process. We manage this period as efficiently as possible with planned scheduling and transparent process management.
Renewal or strengthening?
For some buildings, strengthening by engineering calculation may be an option instead of full reconstruction. We offer a free preliminary assessment to determine which approach is right for your building.
Frequently asked questions
How does the process start?
With the building being assessed as risky and this assessment being officially reported to the relevant authority.
Who can request a risk assessment?
Any owner or their legal representative may request it from licensed institutions.
What happens to owners who do not agree?
Once the required majority is reached, the shares of non-consenting owners are handled through the legal procedure provided in the law.
How is the seismic safety of the new building guaranteed?
All our projects are designed in full compliance with TBDY 2018 and built under the supervision of an independent inspection body.
What should I look for when choosing a contractor?
Past projects, financial strength, technical team and contract transparency are the key criteria.
Do you provide support after handover?
Yes. We continue to provide structural and technical support after handover.
